Doubtblush: Roseanna Palm Long Dress

Mar 5, 2013 9:15 AM

Okay, so yes, we love to shop, but don't think for a second that everything out there is worthy of our glorious rave reviews. Doubtblush is here to remind you that although we seem to gush over a lot, there are certain things out there that leave us scratching our heads and asking, "But why?"

Anyone with ten dollars to spend at Hobby Lobby could make a dress this boxy and unflattering, so why are designers hell-bent on pricing this sort of Big Love schlock in the $500-and-up range, let alone marketing it to upscale fashionistas? This Palm Long Dress ($695) takes what could be a kind of kicky, kitschy palm tree print from quirky to Friday-night-bingo way too quickly. No, thank you.
